    note: Contact Bamboo at docs.investbamboo.com to obtain specific rate limit quotas for your integration tier.

notes:
  - Bamboo does not publicly document numeric rate limits (requests per minute/hour). Partners should reach out through the developer documentation portal for specific SLA and quota details.
  - Rate limit headers (e.g., X-RateLimit-Remaining) may be included in API responses; check response headers in your integration.
  - Settlement and money movement endpoints may have additional restrictions due to regulatory and brokerage compliance requirements.
